I wish all the civil engineers I have to work with had gotten their boots muddy before college. I can't beleivve some of the garbage plans I see.

You think you've got problems. I have over 25 years experience in Design Engineering and I report to a 26 year old Industrial Engineer who is the Manager.

We had an engineer at my company who had a hard time measuring where to put hole in a sheet of aluminum for a test device SHE was making. I, the non-"engineer" measured and marked the holes. Several days later, I saw her complaining that the twist drill was dull. She said she'd been trying for 30 minutes to drill one of the holes and couldn't. I grabbed the drill out of her hands, flipped the switch to forward and walked away.

Hire out of the Navy or Army civil engineering corps :)

Most of the civil engineers I work for in the Navy Corps are former enlisted, which helps.

(I'm not en engineer myself, just a grunt)
